The Group Portraiture of Holland PDF
Preview The Group Portraiture of Holland
The TEXTS & DOCUMENTS series offers to the student of art, architecture, and aesthetics neglected, forgotten, or un- available writings in English translation. Edited according to modern standards of scholarship and framed by critical introductions and commentaries, these volumes gradually mine the past cen- turies for studies that retain their signifi- cance in our understanding of art and of the issues surrounding its production, reception, and interpretation. Eminent scholars guide the Getty Research Insti- tute for the History of Art and the Humanities in the selection and publica- tion of TEXTS & DOCUMENTS. Each vol- ume acquaints readers with the broader cultural conditions at the genesis of the text and equips them with the needed apparatus for its study. Over time the series will greatly expand our horizon and deepen our understanding of critical thinking on art. Editors of the series are Julia Bloomfield, Harry F. Mallgrave, Kurt W. Forster, Thomas F. Reese, Michael S. Roth, and Salvatore Settis.
